These engines were designed and built about a decade ago.

I'l call this engine #1 for this video series.

This is probably the 3rd engine I built after I got the hang of machining parts to make running engines.

Not wanting to follow the herd I opted to scale it down so I took the smallest bolt on the original and scaled it until a M1.0 x .25 could be used. The scale factor came out to .40 of the original. Most of the bolts were .125 or 5-40 so these scaled to M1.2 x .25.
It's primarily made from steel with some store...

I built this O gauge locomotive last winter, using a silver-soldered copper boiler instead of the brass called for in Dr. Senft's plans and finishing it for Christmas. Though I've run it successfully on air, I have yet to steam it:

This is my rendition of the rotary valve engine in plans, i would like to thank whoever posted them it is a great little engine and runs well
My version was made from scrap cast iron,stock material, and anything else that fitted the bill
Here are a couple of pictures, then i will try the vids
